Because the submitter reported it as such and nobody has adjusted it
since then.

We can't lay an egg because we have no chicken and we can't breed a
chicken because we have no eggs. The purpose of libc6-i386 is to cover
the interim time till multiarch and it isn't to strictly deadlock
everything at bi-arch.
Remeber that we already did have the libc6 package from i386 in use in
ia32-libs (and still have). You wanted to have a special libc6-i386
package for amd64 and since you maintain glibc we respected that. We
can add libc6 back to the list of packages for amd64 if you don't want
to provide a transitional package that mimics multiarch. That would be
a one line change.
The ld.so.conf.d/i486-linux-gnu.conf file is essential so multiarch
directories can be used already and to allow a smooth transition. The
ld.so.conf.d/i486-linux-gnu.conf files only logical place is in the
libc6[-i386] packages and the multiarch libc6 oni386 already has to
conflict with libc6-i386 on amd64 (reverse for libc6-amd64). If
ld.so.conf.d/i486-linux-gnu.conf is in any other package then that
just further complicates the dependencies and conflicts in the future.
I see 3 scenarios where I would consider this bug fixed:
1) you add the file
2) ia32-libs takes the libc6-i386 package
3) binutils adds the patch from #369064 and obsoletes the
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/arch-os-gnu.conf files

Then what is /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf for? If 32bit
multiarch support doesn't need the conffile then 64bit multiarch would
need it even less, being the native bit-ness and all. Think about that
for a second.
Meanwhile here is your testcase step by step:
Create missing link so we can link (pending fix in ia32-libs):
% ln -s /usr/lib32/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/lib32/libfreetype.so
Test /usr/lib32 setup:
% cat foo.c
extern int FT_Init_FreeType(void);
int main(void) { return FT_Init_FreeType(); }
% gcc -m32 -o foo foo.c -lfreetype
Test multiarch:
% mkdir /usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu
% mv /usr/lib32/libz.* /usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu
% gcc -m32 -o foo foo.c -lfreetype
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libz.so.1, needed by
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../lib32/libfreetype.so, not found

Which is exactly what I am asking for. That
/etc.ld.so.conf.d/(host-triplet).conf is missing in libc6-i386.
Notice that I do ask for that multiarch host triplet file
specificaly. Not for any bi/tri-arch support. I believed requesting
that file would be clear enough indication that the multiarch dirs are
ment but you seem to have misunderstood that completly.
The libc6 on amd64 ships /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf
% cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf
# Multiarch support
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
The libc6-i386 should ship /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i486-linux-gnu.conf
% cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i486-linux-gnu.conf
# Multiarch support
/lib/i486-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu
That is all I'm asking.
